Taiilandier and wife ar rived home last week from a two weeks' trip to various places in the northern part of the state. They visited the Exposition and have only words of praise for what they beheld, lhey went up the Uolum- bia by boat through the Cascades This beyond a doubt is one of the finest trips of its kind in the worm Next they attempted the ascent of Mt. Hood. Mrs. Taiilandier only got as far up as Cloud Cap Inn, but the professor and five others made the summit. The profeshor was much pleased with this climb ing business. They paid a visit to Long Beach, Wash. Altogether they enjoyed a very busy two weekB. Last Friday night David Hug gins, who., was in town from the southern part of the county had the misfortune to have a horse die. The animal was at Abbott's feed stable when death occurred and there it remained a considerable portion of Saturday. The reason for this is that the city has no place to bury animals that die with in its limits. Mr. Huggins had quite a lot of trouble to find a place to bury the carcass. In the past Chief Lane has made several at tempts to find a place suitable for the purpose named, but without avail. Two or three people enter ed into a sort of contract, but at the very last they .wauld go back on the proposition. This is a bad state of affairs. However, the authorities are doing what they can to reach a satisfactory termination of this problem. S. C. Holmes, an uncle of Prof, Holmes of this city, arrived in Cor vallis last baturday for a few days' visit with the family of his nephew tie is fromlwashington D. C, and for nearly eighteen years was con nected with toe United States treas ury department. Some seven years ago he resigned his position. . Ten years ago he made a tour of the Pacific coast from Mexico to Bntii Columbia. He is now visiting the Exposition, to which place he will return within a few days. . When through with sight-seeing at the Fair he intends going to Southern California, where he will pass the winter. Mr. Holmes says that were he a young man he should chance his fortune on the racihe coast. At the Greffoz store every thing in the main is yet unchang ed. Many call for watches and other articles of jewelry left there for repairs and in some in stances there is trouble due to the impossibility of identification. It is certainly a bad mess. Three attachments of property in the store received service last Thursday. The first service was on account ot Thos. Whitehorn, the second was brought by John Rickard. Both of these parties are of Corvallis. The third paper placed in the hands of Justice Holgate was in behalf of Tuthill, a Portland house. We are informed that these claims aggregate $500 or more. As to the value of the stock in the store it is a matter of con jecture in a large measure as we know of no invpice having been taken. The estimates of several people who have been more or less about the store places the value of the stock remaining at frm $500 to $1000. The pre vailing opinion favors the lesser sum. From any way one looks at this matter it is deplorable. Crew Reported. When last hea'id from Capt, Kemp and crew were sailing mer rily down the Willamette for Port land in their new launch, recent ly constructed in this city. The following report came from In dependence bv Westside "wire less:" The three Kemps, Al, William, and Adrian, of Corvallis, have demonstrated that a gasoline boat may be operated on the upper Willamette river. They passed Independence Wednesday m little 30-foot boat that skimmed over the water like a duck. A Ohorse power superior engine was used and the boat was sent along by a stern propeller. The boat had 28 feet seating capacity and before leaving Corvallis. Mr, Kemp stated he had pulled 22 passengers up stream with greater speed than the boat could make empty. It Has a canvas cover and presents a neat appear ance. The craft was taken to ortland to learn if there is a de tnand for it on the river or Guild's Lake during the Fair. If not, it will be brought back up the river and put on the run between Sa em and Independence. Roy Raber, who is interested in making a good exhibit for Benton county, came up from Portland, Sunday. He will remain here day or two yet gathering fruit and other material for the exhibit. He bays that at present our display is not what it should be, but he is hopeful that in the course of couple of weeks it will be a" credit to the county. Mrs. Murray, of this city, has just received a letter from her son, A matter that is being discussed to some extent and bids fair to b come 01 considerable interest is power of some sort to propel the ferry across the Willamette river at this city. IN 0 fault is found with the ferryman, nor anyone else, for the condition, but it is claimed that when one depends upon the ele ments in a cas of tbis kind they are not insured good service. For instance if the wind is from the north it is almost impossible to cross the stream . : According to present Leslie, who is now in charge of the 1 conditions, the ferry is claimed to construction work on a large build . ing to be used for a parochial school at Ashley, Pa. Hereon writes that he has just been awarded a scholar ship in the University "of Pennsyl vania for the year 191)5-6. His at tainments made it possible for him to enter the " Junior year at this great university. He will study . architecture, designing and kindred arts. Leslie has certainly mada a mne fir hi ia self. Corvallis 7, Siletz 6. When amateur baseball boys hold down a nine inning game to tne score of 7 to 6, spectators generally get the worth of their money. Our Corvallis ball-toss- ers went over to Mewport yester day and played a match game with a picked nine from Siletz, Toledo and Alsea, and the result proved that our boys can put up a good article of baseball. One week ago last Sunday the Siletz team won from Corvallis in a game at Toledo by a score of 9 to ,8. The third and deciding game will be pulled off m Cor valiis, provided enough 25 cent tickets can be sold around town to pay the expenses of the visit ing team. Simpson, of Elk City, was on the box for Siletz and Stanton, of Alsea, played second. Jim Rieb, our Corvallis southpaw, of ficiated for us with young Cham bers at the receiving end.
